liehtful opera was given In the best man
ner, and Miss Irene Murphy sustained
the character of the Princess, with her
usua excellence .sOlivette" will be
given at the final performance this even
ing, on which occasion the house should
be packed.

entitled ",'he Inside Track " This is an

gestion. The climaxes and situations are
startling but not strained, and the entire
play is filled with comedy OF high or
der.
Tuesday evening the entire Little
Tycoon" Company from the Temple
Theatre, Philadelphia, will appear, and
present that opera with full cast, in
GLIDING the principals who have made 1t
